Who is Carrie Underwood's husband, Mike Fisher? Singer faces backlash over Matt Walsh's "anti-vax" tweet

Carrie Underwood has been slammed on social media after she liked conservative blogger Matt Walsh’s anti-mask mandate tweet. America and the rest of the world are still fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. The popular singer and songwriter’s activity has led to outrage on social media.

Wearing masks is currently important in the United States. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves announced their plans to reopen businesses at full capacity and remove mask mandates. Following this, President Joe Biden called the move a big mistake.

Carrie Underwood supported Walsh’s tweet and gave a 'heart' reaction to his two-minute-long video message to the Nashville School Board. However, her fans were frustrated when they found out that the 38-year-old backed anti-mask beliefs despite the ongoing pandemic.

Matt Walsh made many false comments before the Board of Education. He added that forcing children to wear masks can be termed child abuse.
